Random act of kindness Anandtech style. A thank you thread.

Amazon will automatically apply gift card balances so if you don't pay attention to your payment method it's easy to do

Is that how she explained it?

We've done it to each other so ha

Haha yeah it ain't like that guys. I was just joking around and don't really mind that she bought some seeds. We kinda do it old school in our home. Joint accounts, credit cards, and retirements accounts ect. is our way of doing things so when she bought the seeds it was no big deal.

Anyway, if you don't already know we are BIG gardeners and because of this generous gift it will help put food on my families table in 2021. We even donate some of the extra produce from our garden to our neighbors in need. If you haven't seen it check out my ATOT garden tour 2020.
It's going to be even bigger next year!

Wow!

Married life is great. In marriage there's no mine and yours. It's ours. My wife haven't used our code because I told her I'm giving it away to someone who deserve it more.

Are you sure? 😀

I had some fun on Amazon today 🙂 thank you mystery gift giver, choosing things is an exquisite pleasure 🙂

 

[Hans Gruber]

I am curious, how much were these gift cards $$$. Where did you find these gift cards?

 

[shortylickens]

LURKER!

 

[BarkingGhostar]

No offense, but you've been here 10 years and I don't even recognize your name. I must not be here enough anymore. Regardless, Merry Everything.


It's only fair since you've been so busy in the babes thread. 😉

I put myself on probation after you said this. I had to consider everyone and not accidentally dominate the Babse thread. But I've managed to not post anything this weekend and caught myself this morning. Trying to stay on good behavior. Instead of posting pictures I should go back and delete them.

Was able to treat myself to some Sony wire less ear pods, a fast charger, cable & a case for my buds, yes more nerd stuff 🙂 These aren’t expensive like the Apple air pods but they won’t get lost. I listen to meditation stuff to help me sleep and these are perfect

Thank you mystery gifted.
I used my kick ass mittens today. No insert needed today however they are nicely water resistant and very comfy.
Soft and plush inside. Perfect warmth too.
Cleaned the roof off and I was able to disassemble to roof rake without removing the mittens, this was unexpected and a huge bonus.
Snow blower test happening soon.

I wanna say ATOT literally made me $$$.

I learned salary negotiation from this forum here when internet wasn't what it is today. Ever since then I always asked for more during salary negotiation even if the amount was way more than what I wanted. I probably made $100K~ extra over the years by practicing this.

Thank you ATOT community. This aging forum has a certain niche and culture which I like.

How many winters you got on that Ariens? I'm curious

Second one, I am very satisfied with it
Only things I don’t like and they are very minor.
Speeds are very fast even first gear/speed
Pulls to the right a tiny bit when running
Neither of the above are deal breakers, just something to be aware of.

Gloves were great with the snow removal. Still dry, decent grip with them on, easy to manipulate all but the choke setting.

Hrmm, is the chute cowl canted to one side a bit maybe? From clipping something? Maybe it drags on one corner slightly. Might be drive train related too, one wheel moving a hair faster than the other. Mine had quirks, but damn what a thrower. Long as I kept things oily up front and fed it brand name fuel, no worries. Ariens are worth the money.
